PURPOSE

Bay Mills Indian Community (BMIC) administers healthcare, housing programs, educational

resources, conservation and biological services, and recreational opportunities for its members and

the surrounding community. In different ways, each of these services encourages healthy lifestyles,

and enjoyment and preservation of the outdoors.

Recreation fosters economic growth, physical well-being, and improved quality of life, and our region

has unending opportunities for outdoor recreation.

While meeting Michigan Department of Recreation prerequisites for applications to the Land and

Conservation Fund, this plan will inventory existing recreation assets and lay out a blueprint for how

those facilities can be improved and expanded. These improvements will benefit community

members and visitors alike, contributing to the economy as well as local health and quality of life.

This plan is meant to be a functioning plan that can be amended to respond to the changing needs of

BMIC and will act as a guide for the continuing development and enhancement of recreational

facilities in the area.

THROUGH OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE AIM TO

CONSERVE OUR COMMON PROPERTY, DEVELOP OUR

COMMON RESOURCES, PROMOTE THE WELFARE, SELFSUSTAINABILITY, AND PROGRESS OF OURSELVES, AND

Population

BMIC sits within the boundaries of Chippewa County, in the North West quadrant. The main road, West

Lakeshore Drive, follows the shoreline and extends through much of the community’s lands, while S. Red

Pine, W. Spectacle Lake, W. Tower Road, S. Pine Village Road, all lead west to neighborhoods and

residential areas. Beyond transportation by car, there are hundreds of miles off-road trails.

Area Residents enjoy four seasons, with average temperatures as low as 8 degrees Fahrenheit in January,

and as warm as 76 degrees in July. Most months see over 2 inches of precipitation, with over 10 feet of

snow each winter.2

As shown in the table below, the population of Chippewa County, which includes BMIC members and the

Health Services target populations, suffers from high rates of poor health according to multiple indicators.

RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING

The Bay Mills Fit-Nish Trail Walkers meet every Saturday to walk different local trails, and participate in

other special events focused on regional fitness, for example a 5k to support diabetes awareness. BMIC

also hosts annual softball tournaments and hosts regular open gym hours at the Waishkey Center

Elder Fitness, Zumba and Yoga classes are offered at the Mukwa Health and Fitness Center.

The Boys and Girls Club of Bay Mills provides programming to area youth, ages five to nineteen. In 2017

they served 363 individuals and in the second quarter of 2018 they served an average of 142 daily

participants. Welcome to the Boys and Girls Club of Bay Mills – Program activities cover five areas:

1. Character and Leadership Development

2. Education and Career Development

3. Health and Life Skills

4. The Arts/Cultural Development

5. Sports, Fitness, and Recreation

Programs include mentoring, homework help, Running Club, Keystone (a teen-based program that helps

develop good character and positive leadership skills among older Club members), SMART Moves (Skills

Mastery and Resistance Training), and TRAIL (Together Raising Awareness for Indian Life, a diabetes

prevention program).

Status of Previously Awarded Project 26-00959:

The Bay Mills Recreation Area grant was written in the early 1970s, and funded the

development of two dugouts, one backstop, and two sets of bleachers. This project was

completed nearly 45 years ago, so while the recreation area is still in use for public outdoor

recreation, the improvements funded by this grant are outdated and run-down. This natural

wear and tear is understandable given the timeframe, as well as the proximity to the St. Mary’s

River. A replacement plaque is being requested and photo documentation will be sent in as

soon as possible.

BMIC 2019 – 2023 Recreation Plan

DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING & PUBLIC INPUT

The Bay Mills Township Board appointed the Recreation Committee to carry out the necessary actions

required when putting together a recreation plan. Throughout several meetings, the committee compiled

and reviewed plan materials and survey results. The Recreation Committee, in conjunction with the

Eastern Upper Peninsula Regional Planning & Development Commission, solicited public input in the

following ways:

▪

Public Input Questionnaire

 This questionnaire was made available online Thursday, June 28, 2018. The survey results

are in Appendix C.

▪

Public Comment Period

 The Plan was made available online at www.eup-planning.org and hard copies were also

available for review at the Bay Mills Indian Community Administrative Office on October

26, 2018.

▪

Public Hearing

 The Public Hearing was used to give members of the public an opportunity to speak and

express their thoughts on the final draft of the plan. It was held on December 3, 2018.

To see the full questionnaire and public input results, including public notices place in the local papers,

please refer to Appendixes C and E.

BMIC 2019 – 2023 Recreation Plan

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this 5-year plan is to expand the recreational opportunities for residents and visitors. To

make this a reality, this plan will work to achieve 4 main goals. Each goal will have objectives to guide

progress through various initiatives and projects. The next section, Action Program, will delineate when,

where, and how certain objectives will be met by Bay Mills Indian Community.

The rationale for these goals and objectives are rooted in the insights gathered from the Recreation

Questionnaire and other discussions with community members.

Goal 1: Ensure that existing and new facilities and assets are regularly reviewed and maintained.

Rationale: The Bay Mills Indian Community Recreation Plan Questionnaire revealed more dissatisfaction

with maintenance of existing facilities then with the number of opportunities available.

1.1 Develop a maintenance management system, site plans, and goals for each asset, organized

by the appropriate department or committee to estimate and plan for life cycle

maintenance and replacement costs.

1.2 Continue playground council and Biology Department’s adopt-a-beach program.

1.3 Provide adequate funding to operate and maintain existing and new recreational sites. New

projects must have a sustainability plan.

1.4 Design and develop facilities that reduce overall facility maintenance and operation

requirements and costs.

1.5 Where appropriate, use low maintenance materials, settings or other value engineering

considerations that reduce care and security requirements, and retain natural conditions

and experiences.

1.6 Ensure the newly paved section of the nonmotorized Spirit Stone Trail is maintained,

particularly during the winter months.

Goal 2: Utilize the resources and programming of the Boys and Girls Club of Bay Mills to their full

capacity and support their continued development

Rationale: The Boys and Girls Club currently has underutilized equipment, including snowshoes, crosscountry skis, and canoes.

Objectives:

2.1: Develop winter-use trails close enough to the Waiskey Center to enable regular use.

2.2: Dedication of maintenance support to ensure availability of trails through clean-up and

grooming.

2.3: Increase access to transportation to increase the number and variety of hiking excursions.

2.4: Develop regular access to a vehicle to pull the Club’s canoe trailer to increase canoe use.

Goal 3: Support trails development throughout the area.

Rationale: BMIC is located at the center of several major trail systems, and opportunities for more trail

development abound.

Objectives:

BMIC 2019 – 2023 Recreation Plan

3.1 Support water trail development and increase boating access to Lake Superior.

3.2 Continue to meet and lead the development of the Spirit Stone Trail.

3.3 Continue to support the maintenance of existing snowmobile and ORV routes, including by

adding signage at the casino.

3.4 Develop a nonmotorized connector trail from the top of Mission Hill to Plantation Road and

to the Community Center.

3.5 Continue working with the USFS and Michigan DNR.

Goal 4: Explore ways to use regional recreational assets.

Rationale: The region has many resources in place which are underutilized. This would increase the

range of offerings and strengthen relationship with surrounding communities.

Objectives:

4.1 Coordinate to provide transportation to community members to the LSSU facilities and/or

the Rudyard Pool.

4.2 Encourage local entrepreneurs who want to expand recreation opportunities.

Goal 5: Support environmentally friendly, low-impact recreation that preserves the ecological function

of the surrounding land and water.

Rationale: Enjoyable outdoor recreation and healthy populations depend on a healthy natural

environment. To increase recreational access without also proactively taking steps to preserve the

environment would be counterproductive.

Objectives:

5.1 Expand volunteer efforts in trash cleanup of beaches, streams, wetlands, forests, and

campgrounds.

5.2 Mark trails and parking areas to decrease erosion and soil compaction.

5.3 Post signage that encourages the use of clean equipment and helps prevent the spread of

invasive species.

5.4 Expand trash receptacles along trails to reduce litter.

5.5 Support recreation development that fosters coastal resiliency.

5.6 Support planting and maintenance of native vegetation along trails to reduce erosion and

protect water quality.

5.7 Address erosion and sand dune protection at Riverview Campground.

BMIC 2019 – 2023 Recreation Plan

ACTION PROGRAM

The action plan for this five-year plan will be dictated by the monies available through grants, fundraising, donations, and general tribal funds.

These projects can be realized through the cooperation, assistance, and expertise of county, state and federal governments. This recreation plan

may be amended at any time during its five years to change priority or to add or change goals and objectives with public opinion and input. All

development projects will be held to universal compliance and American Disability Act standards.
